Chapter 16 Open-Air Cinema
It was late at night.
The two of them fell asleep on the kang.
Poor little cabbage Fubao sat on a stool, leaned on the fireflies her father caught and put them into cans and bottles as lamps, practiced calligraphy for a while, and then looked at the textbooks of the first grade of primary school seriously.
Because she found that her brain couldn't turn around, she couldn't even do the first grade of primary school questions well, and she wasted a lifetime of memories than others.
Not having enough IQ is a hard wound.
Thinking that the day of school is almost here.
Fu Bao yawned, cheered up, and continued to fight at night with his textbook in his hand.
Ning Weihua waited for a while, feeling that his daughter had almost learned, and finally mentioned that he wanted to send Fubao to school at dinner one day.
Hearing this, everyone looked at him in unison.
Ning Weihua said with a hippie smile: "Mom, I am thinking about the future of our old Ning family, our old Ning family is eighteen generations of poor peasants, and it is only in the uncle's generation that they have begun to have a promising person, relying on studying, Fubao has the talent to study, our family has an innocent background, if we can study in a worker, peasant and soldier university, our family can also glorify our ancestors." ”
The fourth son, Balabala, kept talking, and Grandma Ning only felt troubled, "Fubao really has the talent to study?" ”
Ning Weihua was energetic, and said busily: "Not only is she talented, she is simply a genius prodigy, the last time she went to the commune, Brother Wei Xiang gave her a few primary school textbooks, and Shulan took the time to teach her at night, but she didn't expect that she would be able to learn the above things as soon as she learned them, and now she can write a lot of words." ”
Grandma Ning didn't believe the fourth son's mouth at all, she looked at her little granddaughter, "Fubao, you write a few words for grandma and see." ”
Fu Bao immediately nodded, ran to the house and took out a notebook and pencil, and then lay on the table and wrote the name of the whole family.
The other people in the room who were waiting to see the joke were stunned.
It's good that such a small doll can read and write, and they can write so neatly, they can't write anyway.
Grandpa Ning, who was originally not interested, also came over to take a look, and was very surprised, knowing that his handwriting was similar to that of a dog, and his six-year-old granddaughter could write better than him.
"Ahem!" He cleared his throat, ready to say something.
Grandpa Ning is the head of the family, and if he agrees, the matter is basically settled.
Seeing this, Wang Cuihua hurriedly said: "Dad, what kind of genius prodigy is being able to read and write, my family Yourong will too, he is still a male grandson, if the daughter of the fourth family can go to school, my family Yourong will also go to school." ”
She also gave her sister-in-law and second sister-in-law a look, hoping that they would also stand up and speak, and never let the fourth child succeed.
Zhang Yinghong hesitated.
Li Hongmei wanted to stand up and speak, but was pulled by her own man, Ning Weimin whispered: "The family is my father's mother, let's not do too much." ”
Ning Weihua said lazily: "Third sister-in-law, you can't say that, my daughter will give me a pension in the future, and it is no worse than a male baby, if you are not convinced, you can let Yourong write a few words on the piece of Fubao to see if it can compare to my Fubao." ”
Wang Cuihua snorted, "Just write!" ”
Six-year-old Ning Yourong looked ignorant, he couldn't write it silently, he couldn't even copy the paper copy of Fubao, and the words written were crooked, and he couldn't read it at all.
Wang Cuihua pulled her son away with a black face.
Ning Weihua smiled and said: "I know that everyone in the family is not convinced, if you don't let the children come to write and see, who can compare to my family's blessings, I won't mention the matter of studying." ”
Zhang Yinghong and Li Hongmei's hearts moved, their son beat Xiao Cong and was clever, how could he not be worse than the little fool girl of the fourth family.
So, they also asked their son to write on Fubao's piece of paper, and the result was about the same level as Ning Yourong.
The third generation of the Lao Ning family has never officially studied, so don't talk about the female baby, and several male babies are occasionally taught by their own fathers, just don't be blind.
The two of them felt faceless, and suddenly darkened their faces.
Ning Weihua and Lin Shulan straightened up and smiled proudly.
Lin Shulan said again: "Parents, I used to study well, if I didn't go to the countryside, I would definitely be able to be admitted to university, Fubao inherited me, so I will be so smart, and I will definitely be able to go to the University of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers in the future." ”
Ning Weihua made persistent efforts and said: "Parents, my family Fubao can memorize the text as long as he reads it once, it's a pity that such a smart baby doesn't study." ”
Seeing that the old couple was a little shaken, Fu Bao hurriedly walked on his short legs, threw himself into Grandma Ning's arms, and said coquettishly: "Grandma, I want to be a person like the hall uncle, and I will be filial to my grandmother in the future and take you into the city to live a good life." ”
Hearing this, the old couple were a little moved, after all, the child's heart is sincere, and what he said is sincere.
The corners of Grandma Ning's mouth rose, and she glanced at her, "Grandma is old, what kind of city are you entering?" ”
Wang Cuihua said out of place: "What can a girl say, she will say big things." ”
Grandma Ning's face immediately darkened.
Lin Shulan puffed out her face and said: "Third sister-in-law, the leaders say that women can hold up half the sky, you are also a woman, why do you look down on women, your ideological consciousness is not high." ”
Ning Weihua also said: "Third sister-in-law, this is a feudal idea, and you should be sent to the farm for transformation." ”
Wang Cuihua was really frightened, and her face turned pale with fright.
Grandpa Ning slapped the table and said with a straight face: "Fourth, what nonsense, how can you talk nonsense, and I will whip you next time!" ”
Ning Weihua was able to bend and stretch, and immediately apologized: "Dad, I was wrong." ”
Although there are textbooks, the tuition fee for a semester of the commune primary school is three yuan, not including the cost of school supplies, which is a lot of expenses this year.
In the future, I will have to support junior high school and high school, which is not a small amount.
Thinking of this, Wang Cuihua couldn't care about her fear of Grandma Ning, and sat directly on the ground and rolled around, resolutely disagreeing with the four daughters to go to school.
Grandma Ning calmed her face and shouted loudly: "Boss, the second family, don't hurry up and pull her up, what does it look like to sit on the ground like this." ”
Zhang Yinghong and Li Hongmei didn't step forward, the two frowned and pursed their lips, obviously like Wang Cuihua, they didn't want Fubao to go to school.
The old couple usually hurt Fubao more, give more delicious food and drink, they have no opinion, but if they spend more money in the family, it will never work, Fubao will spend more, and their son will be able to spend less in the future.
Especially Ning Youan and Ning Youwen are both fourteen years old, and they will be able to say goodbye in a few years.
Don't say that Fubao is a female baby, even a male baby can't do it.
Wang Cuihua saw that her sister-in-law and second sister-in-law silently supported her, so she made even more trouble.
"I can't live this day, who doesn't know that it's good to study, but it costs money, a few male babies in the family don't have to read, why let a female baby go, parents, if you really want Fubao to study, I have to split up."
Grandma Ning saw several daughters-in-law breathing out of one nostril, slapped the table and stood up, pointed at the third daughter-in-law, and said angrily: "Your father and I are not dead yet, and it is not your turn to call the shots in this family." ”
Grandpa Ning looked at his sons, and saw that although they didn't speak, they all looked reluctant, and it was not easy to force them, for fear that they would really break up, but they were reluctant to waste their own Congyin children.
The eldest brother is the principal of the primary school, and he still has money to get after retirement, Grandpa Ning also went to school for a few years when he was a child, but he didn't have any talent, his parents let him work in the field, no one knows, what he envies the most in his heart is that the eldest brother is reading and smart, and he can't open his mind.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at his eldest son, Ning Weiguo, and asked, "Weiguo, what do you think of this matter?" ”
Ning Weiguo was silent for a while before he said: "Fubao is still young, if you really want to study, let the fourth daughter-in-law teach at home, the family is not rich, just forget about studying." ”
The eldest son has a lot of weight in the hearts of the old couple, he has said so, what else can he say.
Grandpa Ning sighed and stopped mentioning this matter.
The family of three returned to the room and sat in a row on the kang with a mat, all a little disappointed.
Lin Shulan cried and said: "Her father, Fubao can't study, and we won't be able to go to the city to live a good life in the future." ”
When Fu Bao heard this, tears fell down and fell into her mother's arms, aggrieved.
Lin Shulan couldn't care about being sad, and picked up Fubao like a baby and trembled and coaxed.
Seeing the two of them like this, Ning Weihua felt uncomfortable.
……
In the morning, the old lady's shouting sounded in the yard, and the family of three still relied on the bed for a while, and they dragged it out until the end.
Lin Shulan made a bowl of fruit syrup for Fubao, and said with a loving face: "I didn't have breakfast today, Fubao drank some sugar water to cushion his stomach." ”
Fu Bao shook the goosebumps on his body, took the sugar water and drank half a bowl, leaving the rest for his parents to drink.
She knew that the fruit candy given by Brother Xiaogang had been eaten, and this was the last bowl.
The family went to work.
In the morning, Ning Weihua ran seven or eight times to the thatched house, and in the afternoon, he was found hiding in the grass near the thatched house and sleeping, and then he was reported.
Hearing the news, Fu Bao's little face was a little dumbfounded, the thatched house was so smelly, how could her father sleep?
Ning Weihua was severely criticized by the captain.
At night, every family cooks on the fire, and the aroma of the food can be smelled from afar.
The men, women, and children who were sitting in the shade of the trees at the intersection saw that Grandma Ning was chasing Ning Weihua with a burning stick, and the two ran away without a trace.
You chase me, the old lady chased him for two or three miles in one go, but this kid was too good to run, and in the end, Grandma Ning didn't catch up with him, nor did she beat his ass as she wished.
But when it was time for dinner, Ning Weihua ran back again.
Grandma Ning was so angry that she was going to find a stick to beat people again, but the boss Ning Weiguo hurriedly came up to persuade her, "Mom, you don't know what the fourth child is, what is the problem with him, don't be angry." ”
The second Ning Weimin frowned and said: "Fourth, the captain said that next time you are lazy, you will let the scorekeeper deduct work points." ”
Ning Weihua took a big bite of food, and said nonchalantly: "Buckle it, it's all deducted, and the head food is enough for me to eat." ”
Wang Cuihua sneered: "Fourth, you don't have a high level of ideological awareness, so you have to learn more from the eldest brother and the second brother." ”
Ning Weihua immediately snorted back, "Big man, talking, how can you be a woman to intervene!" ”
Wang Cuihua: "......"
knew that the fourth child was still resentful of her for not letting Fubao go to school.
Lao Sanning Weijun was dissatisfied: "Fourth, why are you talking to your sister-in-law." ”
Ning Weihua snorted coldly, "I'm not like the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother, I don't have as many babies, I'm just a girl, and I can't study, no matter how much I do, I can only eat so much, why do I have to work so hard to cheapen others." ”
The faces of the three brothers Ning Weiguo, Ning Weimin and Ning Weijun were a little unsightly.
said this, the fourth child hated them all.
Except for Ning Weihua's family of three, who were in an unaffected mood and were eating happily, everyone else was so angry that they lost their appetite, and the children were sensitive, and they didn't dare to eat when they saw that their parents were not in a good mood.
After the family of three finished eating and left, they picked up the bowl to eat again, but found that the dishes had been eaten.
At this time, a family of three came out for a walk hand in hand, and when they passed by the barnyard, they saw a large group of people gathered there, not knowing what they were looking at.
The family of three all love to watch the excitement, squeezing to see inside, Fubao is small and can't see anything, Ning Weihua was worried that his daughter would be squeezed out, so he simply lifted his daughter up and put it on his shoulder.
Sitting on her dad's shoulder, her vision suddenly widened.
I saw a few staff members in movie theater overalls tinkering with the projector.
Listening to the discussion of the people next to him, I realized that this was a person from the county movie theater, who went to the countryside to send warmth according to the instructions.
Although the commune also has a movie theater, the scale is too small, and only two or three films are broadcast repeatedly, and it costs a dime for a movie ticket, and the countrymen are reluctant to watch it.
There are often new movies in the county cinema, and once a year, they go to the countryside and show open-air movies for everyone to watch for free.
In the past, they all went to other brigades, Ning Weihua was too lazy to see the long way, but this time it was their turn to be in the brigade.
